The Roundable has made a donation to the Capital City Club’s Employee Fund. The amount was what we would have paid in catering fees for the March, April and May meetings.

The staff was very appreciative and has presented us with a thank you video.

We’ve had a number of members drop out recently due to illness or relocation. This posting solicits your help:

• We need new members.
• And we need members who are representative of metro Atlanta’s diversity (age, race, gender, etc.

The membership process is that you invite a candidate to be our guest (a free lunch!) for one meeting. Then, if the candidate wants to become a member, she pays her dues and she’s a member. The process is the same for all genders.

When inviting a candidate, you can direct her to the Roundtable’s web site and the descriptions of recent speakers.

Frank Burke was a founding member of the Roundtable. Marion Glover reports:

“I thought you might share this interesting story in the Charleston paper on one of founding members Frank Burke. Frank and Nina have a plantation between Walterboro and Charleston and have lived there for several decades. We use to have Roundtable parties at Christmas at their home in Atlanta.”
